Tracy Morgan is one of my favorite characters on TV. I love “30 Rock” and I love his over the top, clueless star persona. I often wonder what he is like in person. Turns out he’s had all kinds of struggles from a crappy childhood, being a young parent on welfare, to substance abuse. His resilience in the face of all of that is inspiring.
